Hi All,  We are currently on Kafka version 2.6.2 and using the Kafka Tools plugin(1.4.1). we are planning to migrate to Kafka version 2.8.2 or higher. I would like to know if the plugin supports this version. Thanks!!

Data in reference tables can differ across environments, which directly leads to have different primary key values of same reference data in the tables across environments. But, knowing this fact, still some Appian applications use primary keys of reference data as constant, for example primary keys of workflow statuses are referenced using constants rather than their text value. If while deploying or during data migration, primary key changes, then code written using those constant references may break. What is the best approach to code for above use case?

How exactly does a write to data store work in the background? - For a single row, it will surely run 1 insert query, what happens when the data is an array? for each row will it run a single query or multiple ones?

We are trying to assert a specific payload onto an SQS queue from Appian to be picked up by an external tool and processed.  Given that Appian doesn't have an AWS SQS interface natively,  we've been trying to use the SNS Rest API to apply our payload onto an SNS topic and let a filter feed it to the SQS queue.However we're having a lot of trouble configuring our Message Query Parameter and our MessageAttributes.Does anyone have a sample POSTMAN, or even a screen shot of a successful Appian -> SNS integration with a message body and message attributes?  Any help that can be offered will be gratefully received.

Hi everyone, My team and I just started learning Appian 2 weeks ago. It was last Friday (August 16) that we noticed that community edition has been down It is now August 19, and we still can't access community edition. I checked the forum and read about "beta editions", I think the environment that we are using can be considered "beta edition" since we don't have access to Admin console. I have the following questions related to this:   - Where do we get announcements/ news that the community edition would be in maintenance?  - Reading the forums, it looks like our environments would be deleted, not sure where we could official news about this. Thank you in advance!

Hi,  I am currently working on a use case  that requires the generation of JWT tokens based on PKCS#8 standards.  I've chosen JWT plugin for this task. However, it seems that this plugin is compatible only with private keys that are based on PKCS#1 (RSA) standards. Is there any known workaround  to fulfill this requirement ?   Thanks, 

Hi people. I'm in need of a solution for this situation: I'm using the OSM map component and I need to render a polygon / region in the map by passing a list of coordinates.Basically, a user can select from a list of regions. When the user selects region X, the map updates and shows the region X.Sadly I can't find a way to render polygons with this plugins, I can only render markers individually.

I have a custom picker field which is used to select the countries. From the list of all countries the user should not be able to select and save Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Can someone please suggest how I can achieve this.
